Orchestra

Meet the director: 

Mr. Barker teaches orchestra at the middle and high schools. He attended and graduated from Snow College and Utah State University as a cellist. Next year will be his 8th year in New Richmond. Prior to New Richmond, he taught 3 years in Star Valley, Wyoming. He loves to spend time with his family. He and his wife have two boys and a girl. They enjoy reading, playing, and going on walks. During the summer months he enjoys playing disc golf and visiting friends and family back west. He is ready for another exciting year of orchestra! 

Below are the instruments that are in our 6th grade orchestra.
